Best Contemporary British Restaurants in Castle Douglas

Delightful atmosphere, very friendly and attentive staff, all very polite and professional. The food was exceptional and couldn't fault at all. Love the decor and art deco vibe. Highly recommend!

All the staff we came in contact with were friendy, helpful and considerate..The menu had some different dishes and prices were reasonable. I particularly enjoyed the beef tartar ant the parmigiana truffle chips were delicious.Toilets could do with a makeover as looked a bit tired for a new restaurant and at least one toilet seat needs replaced/secured.. Lovely place to spend a leisurely lunch people watching and enjoying the Christmas magic in Princes Square.

Great ambience with friendly staff ,for us it was a great way to start off our afternoon in Edinburgh - a group of 6 mixed company!!!

Edinburghs The ivy:19/12/24 The waitress and the waiter were really nice the food sounds good and some... Interesting. Its kind of noisy. The drinks: The drinks were really nice my mother says it's really nice she also says it is fruity and goes down easily. The looks: It looks really nice there's candle's in the middle of each table the view has to much construction though there's lamps in the middle of each window to the paintings in the back are... Kind of nice actually there's a leaf in a corner of the room which I like The starter: The smoke salmon was amazing and wonderful especially with the lemon best smoke smalon ever. The foods time to come. Its taken a long time. The main course: The fish was exquisite one of a kind and the chips were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING WAY BETTER THAN THE SMOKE SALMON WHICH I THOUGHT WAS THE BEST the mushy peas were... Weird and the ribeye steak was good but burgers are still better. The dessert: Since it was my sister's birthday I got a FREE dessert and it's part of a birthday cake AND trust me IT'S TO DIE FOR!!! The bill: The bill is way less than I thought just 231!?!? THAT'S A BARGAIN ESPECIALLY FOR HOW MUCH WE GOT! The rating: The final rating is... 4.5 stars🌟⭐🌟⭐ Review by Ollie Smith

Lunchtime, easy atmosphere, no problem with conversation being heard despite being quite busy (most tables occupied, no one standing). Venison was quite delicious, well prepared. Quite pricey, but possibly I’m just not used to city pricing. I need to get out more - and I’ll go back to The Voyage of Buck when I do.
